Lightning's cool when it's not close. I was watching a thunderstorm from my front door once and lightnight struck my neighbor's maple tree, about twenty feet from where I was standing.
It was very bright and very loud. Scared the shit out of me--it blew bark from the tree all over the place, and the tree split and threatened to fall on my car.
Otherwise, though, I'm good with the thunderstorms.
